[7:26:52 AM] Esedu: cross ange is an anime about sexual equality, as the whole latter half can be summarized in "a man really wants to have sex with this woman but she doesn't like him at all and he tries to destroy the world to get her to like him and when she still doesn't he tries to rape her."
[7:27:02 AM] Esedu: so they fight in flying robots
[7:27:07 AM] Esedu: http://puu.sh/gU4Yg/f66f557a0f.png
[7:27:41 AM] Esedu: yelling lines such as
[7:27:52 AM] Esedu: "why won't you let me control you" and "because I'm a human" at each other
[7:31:27 AM] Esedu: after the fight
[7:31:30 AM] Esedu: she is asked
[7:31:33 AM] Esedu: what about the old world
[7:31:36 AM] Esedu: a normal anime hero
[7:31:40 AM] Esedu: would try to fix everything
[7:31:42 AM] Esedu: she just says
[7:31:46 AM] Esedu: "not my problem"
[7:31:50 AM] Esedu: "they can figure it out themselves"
[7:31:57 AM] Esedu: deal with it nerds
[7:32:11 AM] Esedu: the starting episodes
[7:32:14 AM] Esedu: which were so bad
[7:32:44 AM] Esedu: i guess the idea was to heavily show this character as weak and a victim and sad and etc
[7:32:53 AM] Esedu: deliberately as a typical anime female lead role
[7:33:17 AM] Esedu: the turnaround that eventually happened was really good, just the initial ruse was
[7:33:36 AM] Esedu: too heavy
[7:33:50 AM] Esedu: there was way much rusing
[7:33:51 AM] Esedu: going on
[7:33:55 AM] Esedu: throughout the whole thing
[7:34:20 AM] Esedu: aside from anime silliness i felt that the characters were actually pretty realistic in how they felt
[7:34:29 AM] Esedu: and most people's motives for their actions can be traced pretty well
[7:34:39 AM] Esedu: i'm glad I did not drop this anime, it ended up pretty good
